History
editDetails of the new trains were officially announced in March 2016.[5] Between April and May 2017, Keio held a public poll to choose the brand name for the new reserved-seat services starting in spring 2018.[3] The name Keio Liner was announced on 24 January 2018, chosen from the following five candidates.[6]
- Keio Liner (京王ライナー)
- Keio Smart Liner (京王スマートライナー)
- Keio Prime Liner (京王プライムライナー)
- Luxpress
- Westar
The fleet of five ten-car 5000 series trainsets was built by Japan Transport Engineering Company ("J-TREC") at a total cost of approximately JPY10 billion.[4][5]
The first trainset was delivered to Wakabadai Depot from the J-TREC factory in Yokohama in late June 2017,[7] and unveiled to the media on 19 July 2017.[8] It entered revenue service on 29 September 2017.[9] The fifth set was in service by January 2018.[10]
Reserved-seat Keio Liner services from Shinjuku Station commenced on 22 February 2018.[11] Inbound Keio Liner trains to Shinjuku will begin on 22 February 2019.[12][needs update]
The order of a sixth set was announced in April 2019.[13] The set was delivered in December 2019.[14]
Future plans
editKeio plans to upgrade the seats on the 5000 series to include a reclining function. The program aims to begin revenue operation later in 2022.[15]
The updated seating was installed on a new 7th set. This new set, 5737, debuted on 24 December 2022.[16]
On 10 May 2024, Keio announced that as part of its fiscal 2024 capital investment plan, two more 5000 series sets are scheduled to be delivered to boost the frequency of Keio Liner services.[17]
